If your desktop already has an ethernet card, which almost all computers now a days ship with, then all you need are a router and a wireless card for your laptop. If you have them already, connect the ethernet cable from your laptop to your router, and use the router's software to configure the connection. Then do the same thing for your laptop. Take a look at the FAQ on the main page for more useful information.
